Close to the Slabbering/Slavering/Babbling Baby spring in Adel Woods there is a track that crosses Nanny Beck and then quickly passes a small pool. The way over Nanny Beck is by a short footbridge which may class as a clapper bridge as it is made from stone slabs.The footbridge and the pool are marked on maps as far back as at least 1893. As walked-on stone slabs will eventually fail at some stage I wonder if anyone knows how long the current slabs have been there? I walk in the area fairly often but I don't recall ever seeing what looked like new slabs, but I have probably just never noticed.

I took the photo of the footbridge on August 15 2016. The view is looking across Nanny Beck to the area where the just out of view spring is on the left. The beck runs left to right in this view and very soon joins Adel Beck.

hi, yes, that pond was completely filled in up until about 30years ago......then it was dug out....up until that point there was nothing there to suggest it was a pond....I remember the drinking fountain just over the beck fromthere.....
